🏰An absolutely stunning Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley's extreme Erba Vineyard, the 2019 Adversity Cellars offers a deep, complex profile of 【wild red and black fruits, intense florals, mocha, and a fabulous minerality】, showcasing the power and raw energy of mountain fruit. Adversity Cellars, a boutique project by winemaker Russell Bevan and Victoria De Crescenzo, focuses on challenging terroirs and low-yielding vines. This wine, which includes 15% Petit Verdot, is nearly opaque with ripe and sweetly fruited aromatics of 【blackberry, boysenberry, mulberry, mocha, espresso, and old cedar box】. The palate is juicy and full-bodied, with supple, round textures and present but never assertive tannins, leading to a seamless, pure, and very long finish with notes of bloody, iron-laced blue fruits, sage brush, and crushed stone. Delicious now, this wine is built to age and may hit its true stride between 7-12 years from vintage, with potential to keep for 20-30 years. 🍴 This robust Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect match for bold, rich foods such as grilled red meats like steak, lamb chops, and ribs. It also pairs beautifully with braised beef short ribs, roasted lamb with rosemary, wild game, mushroom risotto, and aged hard cheeses. 🥂 Ideal for a celebratory dinner, a serious wine tasting, or as a significant addition to a collector's cellar. Its power and complexity make it a wine to be savored and contemplated.
